Apple on Wednesday at its big event in Cupertino unveiled the latest iPhones for 2018: the iPhone XR, the iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max. Unlike the tech giant’s approach to the Smartphone market, Apple introduced a cheaper version of its latest technology, the iPhone XR with a few compromises.

The difference between iPhone XS and XS Max, which Apple is releasing earlier, is merely the size and a few size advantages.

To curtail the waiting time before owning any of the latest iPhones, Apple has released the phone prices and equally launched the iPhone XS preorders alongside the bigger model – the iPhone XS Max and its newly launched Apple Watch Series 4.

The iPhone XS price starts at $999 for the lowest storage capacity (64GB), the cheaper option – the iPhone SR starts at $799, though currently unavailable for preorders, while the iPhone XS Max is the only new iPhone breaking the $1,000 ceiling to start at $1,099.
